KUWAIT ends AZKALS 2014 world cup dream

Filipinos are amazing. Somewhat similar to the Brits I guess, we are in disarray during peace time but we are amazing and united during war. What happened today in Rizal Sports Complex was war. Team Philippine AZKALS ranked by FIFA as 160th team in the world played again the mighty Kuwait team ranked 90th. Our boys lost during the 1st game in Kuwait 3-0 and again today 2-1 thereby ending the 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifying campaign. But today's game taught us many things. And hell, I wanna make it clear early on. I am so proud of our boys for putting up a good fight today and I am more proud of them now than ever!!!!!

I was tweeting and re-tweeting all throughout the game Didn't bother if I lose a few twitter followers because of flooding them football stuff. I was in front of my computer talking to my student in South Korea while watching the live stream. I couldn't focus on our topic at all.!! Now I know how it feels like whenever they tell me their team is having a game while they are studying with me. Thank you Azkals for making me feel this. I think same goes to most of us ayt? We have never felt this alive with football before. Being able to witness this and experience such emotions is blessing enough and we owe it to our boys for bringing the sport to our hearts!!!

we believe and we will continue to believe. we have your back guys!!!

FROM TWITTER SUPPORTERS:#azkalswebelive became a WORLDWIDE trending topic in twitter and here are the interesting tweets from fellow supporters which I joyously retweeted:

Yes, indeed! RT @dee0915 They better be afraid of our #Azkals. It's a very young team and yet they've come this far. @PHLAzkals

I believe in AZKALS because it means believing in many things.

In the Filipinos capacity to unite, to get over our diffidence, and to love. And I mean love in the context of sports. Some might feel threatened for the abandonment of our much cherished sports--- basketball. But I believe we can embrace both as well as love any other sports. If it is for the pride of our country---why not support?

To all those who were disheartened by the loss, come on guys, this is not the end of it all. The world cup is bid was just the start. We have more matches to look forward to.

I believe that these guys have the choice to live a comfortable life abroad but they gathered together to put up a national football squad so that we can be in the radar of the worlds most popular and beautiful sport---football. Thank you Azkals for giving us that. Thank you for giving us faith.As a netizen blogger, you have my support and admiration!!!!Thank you for making us realize that we can believe and we will continue to believe no matter what.

BTW: Thanks to the following AZKALS websites for featuring my blog entry about the Philippines-Sri Lanka match last time:

My admiration also goes to you for going out of your way in support of our squad.!!!And to all Filipinos all over the world, let's continue to have faith in our race, lets continue to believe!!!!______________________
